Remove statue once it is interacted with?

[HaunterV]

OK, so I want to make a sort of armory in my dungeon only the armory will be a hall of warrior statues.

I just want to know is there a way to remove the statues and replace them with either;
- a rubble pile indicating it being destroyed
or
-a non warrior statue indicating the player taking the statues' equipment.

Any help would be, well, helpful.

another option is something along the line of a hud message indicating the discovery of a hidden compartment in the statue resulting in the discovery of loot within.

You could make a workaround with a blockage.
Use the statue as standard model and then something else as a broken model. Give it a ridiculous amounts of HP and then let it be "destroyed" by a script (damageTile function) and then spawn another statue in the same square.

Another way could be to put a hidden plate in front of the statue, when the party stands there fire a script from the plate giving a message and spawning the shield/item.
It's a quick workaround I know, but it would work nicely

Potential paths to solve my dilemma... all I needed, thanks.

will update when i can... also how do i screen cap the editor? or even fullscreen preview mode? is it the printscreen button? i can't seem to find my screenshots if they do exist and some sort of headsup notification of a screenshot being taken would be nice.

You can press F when in preview mode to go fullscreen

I use fraps for screenies and vids....so I'm not much use to you there lmao

usually you can do printscreen (which will capture your entire desktop) or alt-printscreen (which will capture just the active window) and then you need to open an image editor (such as Paint or Irfanview-highly recommended) and Paste. In Irfanview you can then quickly crop or edit (basically) the image before saving in whatever format you want.

Steam has a built-in screenshot tool that should work, try that one.

Oh man, I totally did not know the alt_prntscrn function.
Thanks, Komag!
